Oh ok... but still. That scenario could happen today what with the ice in the Poles breaking up. Or at least that is what I have read. Allison

Allison,
The areas shown underwater were underwater due to the oceans being higher due to a warmer earth and less water locked up in ice as well as the continent in those areas being lower in some cases. The tsunami did not inundate those areas as they were already under the then-ocean. The mega-tsunami did propagate up onto land certainly.
